IIS Default SMTP Vir. Srv. Not starting

I have a Win2k Server machine that is used as a web
server. It does not allow me to send email because the
Default SMTP Vir. Srv. service will not start. When I
attempt to start it, it will say:

The service did not respond to the start or control
request in a timely fashion.

nothing else using port 25 and simple main transport is
started under services.

Thanks for in advance,
Quan
